Though they come in various sizes, test tubes are simply glass tubes. A graduated cylinder, however, has approximate measurements for varying volumes of liquid.

What is used to find area of an irregular object?

A water displacement test. You take a graduated cylinder full of water and read how many mL you have. Then you place the object in the graduated cylinder and read how much the water has risen. You subtract your first value from the value with the object in the cylinder. The amount you then come up with is the area in mL. This can be converted to cm cubed since they are equal.
